As we develop guidance, we identify gaps and uncertainties in the evidence base which could benefit from further research. The most important unanswered questions are developed into research recommendations. Read our process and methods guide (PDF).

Recommendation ID Recommendation Name CG103/01 Delirium assessment tools: CG103/02 Pharmacological prevention: In people in hospital who are at high risk of delirium, which medication (atypical antipsychotics, typical antipsychotics, benzodiazepines or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors), compared with placebo or each other, is more clinically and cost effective in preventing the development of delirium? CG103/03 Pharmacological treatment: In people in hospital who have delirium, which is the most effective medication (atypical antipsychotics, typical antipsychotics or benzodiazepines) compared with placebo or each other for treating delirium? CG103/04 Multicomponent intervention: For people in long-term care, is a multicomponent non-pharmacological intervention more clinically and cost effective than usual care in preventing the development of delirium? CG103/05 Delirium in long-term care: How common is delirium and what are its adverse outcomes in people in long-term care? CG103/06 Education programme: Does a staff education programme (compared with an educational leaflet or usual care) reduce the incidence of delirium and improve the recognition and recording of delirium in people in hospital? CG113/1 What is the relative effectiveness of sertraline compared with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) that has not responded to guided self-help and psychoeducation in a stepped-care model? CG113/2 In well-defined generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), what is the clinical and cost effectiveness of two cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) based low-intensity interventions (CCBT and guided bibliotherapy) compared with a waiting-list control? CG113/3 For people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) who are ready to start a low-intensity intervention, what is the clinical effectiveness of physical activity compared with waiting-list control? CG113/4 Is chamomile/ginkgo biloba more effective than placebo in increasing response and remission rates and decreasing anxiety ratings for people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)?
